Why Are Arabs Whitewashing Iran-Backed Hizbullah?
(Gatestone Institute) Bassam Tawil - In 2016, the Arab League declared Hizbullah a terrorist organization - a week after a similar move by Arab Gulf states. On June 29, the Arab League announced that it no longer classifies Iran-backed Hizbullah as a terrorist organization. The decision sends a message to Iran and its terror proxies that they have a green light to pursue their terrorist attacks not only against Israel, but also against some Arab countries, especially the Gulf states. The Lebanese army, which has long been backed by the U.S., has done virtually nothing to disarm Hizbullah or prevent it from using Lebanese territory to attack Israel. Every child in Lebanon and the rest of the Middle East knows that the Lebanese army, along with UNIFIL forces, have failed to prevent Hizbullah terrorists and their Palestinian allies from firing thousands of rockets, exploding drones and mortars towards Israel since Oct. 2023.
